The National Monuments Service's description
A granite finial of Saggart medieval church (DU021-034002-) was originally discovered in 1956 c. 4m out from the SW section of the graveyard (DU021-034003-) wall. It has now been placed inside the mausoleum of Edward Byrne at the E end of the church and graveyard. The lower portion is roughly shaped into blunt point. Both arms have a rectangular cross-section terminating in vertical face (dims. Wth 0.6m x T 0.42m x D 0.47m). There appears to be decoration on the underside.
